    The fake out is that the leak is genuine and someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make it look like a fake out...:p o_O :crazy:

    Ebay:
    :lol That's hilarious!

    Well, in fairness they could have been two pictures put together!

    I'm not sure what you're referring to? eBay going in house or are you referring to a shop currently selling through eBay?

    That's a lot of dinos!

    :lolol 

    That actually reminds me of back when I used to do modding for a game, I had posted a screenshot of a modified model I had made for my own (ultimately unfinished) mod and some jerk took the screenshot and posted it on the forum for a popular map pitching it to be a new hero for said map (no idea what he would have done when he was unable to provide the model) except I had put a blended watermark with my username over part of the screenshot, and his edited one had a white box with his name added in MSPaint or something.

    He still claimed it was his model though, to which someone incredulously asked if he was seriously suggesting that I had somehow painstakingly reconstructed the parts of the screenshot which were covered by the white box? :lol 
    Needless to say he got banned and I got an apology from the makers of the map who's forum he was posting this on :D

    He's wicked Brian really good quality plastic used. Good molding details too. The tiny weapons I might glue together as they are not staying together well enough so might just keep them as one piece permanently.

    Yeah it's a very strong photoshop from the looks, belting job on that white. Anyone who has tried to photoshop red to white will know its a nightmare and often goes pink and for that reason part of my brain is still in the camp of it could be true despite my better judgement. The bot symbol being from swipe is a good shout though for sure and there are some off details like the blue shin pad looking shopped and the midriff on devcon lacking detail.

    Perhaps they swapped swipe for a red alert in the same pose before shopping? Either way an absolute ton of effort.

    Oh wow. Learned something new today. I don't know alot about Wells, but what i do know makes me surprised to hear he loved magic. I always thought he was a bit of an uptight, prim and proper type of guy, not one who would go in with the... 'flim flam flashy' of magic, for lack of a better way to describe it. I'll certainly be checking that video out. Thanks!


    Happy easter everyone.

    The new PayPal thingy, i.e. you have to give eBay your bank account details and they pay to there instead. And take the fees at the same.

    Think that's the main thing you will notice.

    Ah fantastic, I've wanted to watch F for Fake ever since seeing the Brows Held High episode on it. Cheers for that.

    As for Devcon, it's really just the head sculpt that he has in common with Scourge, and that's basically the most common thing to replace. He could transform into any bloody thing and it wouldn't matter. Do another Sideswipe repaint and give him a thing on his head. Boom. Devcon.

    Look all I'm saying is Prime has died and come back to life more than Jesus so you tell me who's better to celebrate on Easter Sunday.

    As others have said, sign up for eBay managed payments. Have to wait a couple of days but no PayPal charges. Also it's max £1 fees till end of Monday, so find the link and activate it. Supposedly you have to be eligible, but I've never not been eligible. Even if I don't get an email invite I'll search for a link and it always activates. Wonder if that's the same for everyone?

    *Didn't expalin this right. eBay fee has increased slightly so it's only slightly cheaper than previous eBay + PayPal fee. BUT if you are able to sell for £1 it's a significant saving

    Beast machines had the best cybertronian alt modes. Alien vehicles that looked more than robots doing yoga. And no cockpit because why would they? They get a giant head incorporated into alt mode, using the alt mode as new abilities over robot mode. And they look cool and alien.

    Hope everyone's having a chocolatey day! I ordered Cyclonus last night while I was drunk (but not drunk enough for that to be an excuse). So today when he arrives I'll be visited by the easter bunny himself. How appropriate.

    Afternoon folks

    Been the guts of a week since I last posted. Bit of a catchup post here.

    Short version of my week.... Works been kicking my ass (been setting up the IT side of 34 Pharmacies about to start Vaccinating the public with very little notice...), got a sinus infection, got my 2nd Vaccine Jab (woohoo super antibody powers!), got MP Arcee and SS HotRod (opened neither)

    And so a BIG catchup of Comic Covers...
